Pumpkin Chili - Friesen Style

1 lb. ground beef
2 cups pureed pumpkin
2 cans kidney beans (or beans of choice)
1/2 green pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
1 cup salsa
16 oz. canned tomatoes (more if desired, this was all I had on hand)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp. pumpkin spice
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. minced garlic (equivalent to 2 garlic cloves minced)
1/8 cup sugar

Cook beef in frying pan with onion and garlic. Drain off fat. Put into pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer 1/2 to 1 hour. Serve with bread or biscuits (we enjoyed fresh biscuits with this meal). Top with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
